The sweet moment a couple accidentally proposed to each other at the same time on Calton Hill will feature on this week’s episode of Caught on Camera on Shots! - Freeview channel 262.

This is the heart-warming moment a couple discovered they had both planned a surprise proposal for each other on the same day.

A woman had planned to propose to her girlfriend a few days before Christmas during a trip to Edinburgh.

She had a photographer waiting at the top of Calton Hill and had also given one of her 12-year-old twin daughters the responsibility of filming it.

Her girlfriend had planned to propose in front of Edinburgh Castle, and was initially thrown off by a walk up Calton Hill.

Her girlfriend said: “She beat me to the proposal by seconds but I am quite happy to have gotten the first 'yes' out of the pair of us."

The touching proposal features in the latest edition of Caught on Camera.
